Not sure why it’s so hard to embrace this truth, but it’s almost always better to extend grace to someone. Our world truly needs more people who will judge less and love more, forgive and allow healing, be more generous and less greedy.
There are moments when we all feel we’ve been wronged, and we are ready to show our anger, be selfish, act rude, etc! Think about Jesus, on the cross, suffering, abandoned and shamed, and yet, in that moment, he extended grace to a convicted thief on the cross. Truly the thief was not worthy of grace, unless your Jesus.
Here’s the thing, whenever you extend grace to another human, no matter what happens afterward, you can walk away knowing that your act of kindness could quite possibly help that other person be more like Jesus. Therefore, always extend grace!






Great post, Marlow. Thanks for the reminder!
